Cisco Catalyst 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz
Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional
Patch Antenna (C-ANT9103=)
First Published: March 13, 2020
Last Updated: April 17, 2020
This document describes the Cisco Catalyst 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse
Directional Patch Antenna (C-ANT9103=), and provides electrical specifications and mounting
instructions.
The antenna is an octal DART port polarization-diverse patch antenna that operates over the 2.4 GHz
band and extended 5 GHz band (up to 7.125 GHz), and IoT. It has 8 RF paths and 16 digital lines. It also
has an LED. The antenna ships with an articulating mount for use on flat surfaces and masts, and is
adjustable in both horizontal and vertical planes.
The antenna is designed for use in indoor and outdoor environments with an approved Cisco Catalyst
series access point that requires four dual-band and four 5/6 GHz antennas. The antenna also includes
circuitry to enable self-identification of the antenna by the Cisco Catalyst Series access points.
